The report was adopted. The per cent, of standing is to be arrived at by doubling the per cent, of daily recitations, adding to this sum the per cent, of final examina tions, and dividing the sum thus obtained by three. The board voted that any student Other than those mentioned in the resolution above, who may desire at the commencement of the next term a re-examination, shall be entitled to such, and if found by principal or teacher to be sufficiently advanced to be promoted may he promoted accord* ingly.
